Hide Orkut Album Photos from Friends

If you think that you have only two album sharing options – “share photos with friends“, “share with everyone” with your Orkut photo albums, you are wrong. You can move a step ahead to restrict anyone including your friends from viewing your photos. This will act like your private photo storage space on Orkut, lolz. All you have to do is some basic album properties configuration and that’s it. None of your friends or anyone will be able to see photos from your albums.

To hide Orkut photo albums from your friends, follow these below steps.

1. Login to your Orkut profile.

2. From your profile, navigate to Settings >> Privacy >> Scroll down below to find album settings.

3. If you have many photo albums and want to hide few ones only, click on the drop down menu next to Albums and select “Choose per album” option.

4. Now from the below albums list, select one album and click on Edit link associated with that album.

5. A new window will pop up asking you to select photo sharing permissions for that album.

6. Delete all friends, groups, contacts from the right hand side menu and make it accessible by no one.

7. You are done.

You can repeat step 4 and 5 to hide more photo albums from your friends. This will not delete any of your photos or albums, they will remain safe. It’s just that no one can see those photos. And yes, you will be having access to those photos and can change the settings to allow friends or anyone to view your album photos again by following above steps.
